Undoubtedly the greatest action RPG the world has ever seen. The quantity without forgetting quality of this game's content is absolutely mind-blowing, you have never seen anything like this. The game's world-building is nothing short of masterful, meticulously crafted in every detail. Each side quest, whether from the base game or DLCs, is a narrative gem, carefully woven into the fabric of the game's universe.

Plus, the cinematography in every quest is on point, even the side ones, eschewing the repetitive shot-reverse-shot formula seen in other third-person action RPGs. The Witcher 3 delivers some very decent scenes and shots throughout its 150+ hour gameplay and i have yet to see another game pull this off.

This game also has the greatest extentions ever, so good they have become essential the player's experience. They add so much to the game you can't imagine playing without them. Both so well written and constructed it's actually ridiculous.

in conclusion please buy the game

TLDR: 10/10 from be but still has flaws and dropped plot points. BUY THIS GAME and good luck on the path Witcher.

I did not expect this turn around after playing the Witcher 1 or even 2 for that matter. 1 Was just bad and 2 was noticeably better but still just a ok game, only really good looking next to 1. This outing was so exceptionally well done that this game has sold over 50 million copies even though its a third installment in a series where next to none have played the predecessors. Geralt and his close companions finally feel fleshed out and the world building is as good as you can get in one game.

Spoilers:

There are of course downsides, no game is without flaw. there is quite a few dropped plot points like the last crone surviving, many of he lodge sorcerers being forgotten and being 11th hour characters, the wild hunt enemies not being fleshed out, a good but not edge of seat sitting level of story, For a a game being so perfectly written, it still has moments where characters lose iq like any other game, like my boy D turning on you and roach OPENLY WITH LIKE 2 HENCHMEN WITH HIM planning to rule Timeria for himself banking on the fact geralt will stay out of the conflict when geralt just showed he does pick sides lmao. This may be due to scrapped game concepts though which there was a lot if you look into it. Oh and you can kill Radovid (in a moment he also loses braincells but this can be easily explained due to madness) and no one in the world bats an eye.

While i listed a lot of world or story nitpicks... i didnt notice any of them during my actual gameplay due to how fun the game was, i did every sidequest and contract willingly. You only notice these minor issues in retrospective once someone points it out lol. Anyway im rambling, 10/10 will be getting Witcher 4.

Moved from Xbox to PS4 so of course, had to buy and eventually play through again. Probably my favourite game ever.

Best open world I’ve played in. 10/10 exploration, atmosphere, music. The evening / sundown lighting is beautiful.

Gameplay is simple (dodge, swing, Quen) but satisfying and didn’t get too old after hundreds of hours.

Story is gripping, all the characters feel real with their own motivations.

Going back to Toussaint was a delight, love the more on-the-nose fairytale stuff, and this time I pimped out my villa more.

The Witcher 3 é, sem dúvida, o meu jogo favorito de todos os tempos. Desde os primeiros minutos de gameplay, fui envolvido por sua atmosfera incrível. Quando Geralt observa a montanha e expressa seu espanto, eu me vi exclamando em concordância: "Incrível!" Os gráficos são verdadeiramente impressionantes, cativando minha atenção desde o início.

Quero abordar um ponto importante que muitas pessoas parecem ignorar. The Witcher 3 é, essencialmente, um RPG de mundo aberto centrado na narrativa, onde os diálogos desempenham um papel crucial. Muitos perdem o interesse rapidamente, esperando uma experiência mais frenética. No entanto, é exatamente essa profundidade narrativa que torna o jogo tão excepcional. Os diálogos detalhados e envolventes exigem atenção, mas muitos desistem cedo demais, rotulando o jogo como entediante sem dar uma chance real.

Ao escolher um jogo, é natural que certos aspectos nos atraiam. Criticar The Witcher 3 por ser principalmente um RPG narrativo é injusto. Cada aspecto do jogo, desde os diálogos até as missões secundárias, contribui para a riqueza da experiência. Interpretar Geralt, um bruxo com uma história rica e complexa, e moldar suas ações com base em suas decisões pessoais é uma característica única e extraordinária que permeia toda a gameplay.

Outro ponto muito debatido na comunidade é o sistema de combate. Muitos dizem que é inferior, mas pessoalmente, eu não sinto isso. Gosto da mecânica “bate-desvia”, embora acredite que poderia ser um pouco mais fluida, como vemos, por exemplo, em “Dark Souls III”.

De longe, o ponto mais alto de The Witcher 3 é sua narrativa imensa e incrível. Sem querer dar spoilers, todos os sistemas e características do jogo só funcionam perfeitamente devido à narrativa. Encerrei o jogo pelo menos umas 3 vezes. Minha primeira jornada foi no modo “SANGUE E GLÓRIA”. Logo em seguida, decidi platinar o jogo, o que exigiu jogar novamente no modo mais difícil, o “MARCHA DA MORTE”. Por fim, faltava um troféu perdível que, incrivelmente, não obtive na segunda run. Então, joguei pela terceira vez. Não precisava completar o jogo, pois em algumas horas eu chegaria à missão necessária, mas optei por terminá-lo do mesmo jeito, desfrutando de muitas horas extremamente divertidas.

Agora, mencionando rapidamente as duas gigantescas DLCs que poderiam facilmente servir de base para um jogo próprio, evitando detalhar as novas narrativas. É incrível como a CD Projekt RED criou algo que nunca mais foi repetido: DLCs de qualidade, pensadas tanto na narrativa quanto na jogabilidade. Nos dias de hoje, é bizarro pensar que você pode pagar R$ 15,99 por um conteúdo tão completo. Isso gera reflexões sobre o que é considerado caro ou barato quando se investe em um jogo.

Obviamente, depende do bolso de cada um. O que pode ser caro para mim pode ser considerado barato para outro. No entanto, a CD Projekt RED, com The Witcher 3, desafia essa questão e a joga para os ares.

1.0: Guia que utilizei para chegar na platina: https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=884206129

Com certeza um dos melhores jogos já feitos na HISTORIA, por onde começar a explicar esse jogo? Uma grande atenção aos mínimos detalhes, grandes e pequenas historias, gameplay viciante, GWENT, gráficos, musica TUDO!
Gameplay um RPG de extrema qualidade todos os pontos, provavelmente o único ponto ruim é o carpeado que sempre tem bugs KKKKKK, porem as magias são ótimo, as espadas tudo contribuem para uma gameplay satisfatória e prazerosas.
Uma historia incrível baseada em um conto polonês, sendo baseado na visão de geralt indo atrás da ciri, sendo uma grande historia com detalhes ótimos que contribuem para sua vontade de continuar suas missões e objetivos, e as historias do mundo aberto são ótimas!
Mundo aberto desse jogo e fantástico, você jogando esse jogo tem vontade de explorar cada detalhe desse mundo solitário e tenebroso, com cada detalhezinho nas missões secundarias que te incentivam a jogar mais e querer platinar essa obra prima.
Resumindo, JOGUE AGORA!!!!!!!

This game is fundamentally rudimentary in its gameplay and mission design. This as a result of its long story (overly drawn out) makes this game tedious. It got old after the 20-hour mark of doing the same thing over and over again but only enduring it because the writing kept me invested. This is no masterpiece of a game by any means for the sum of the whole experience. However, I love this The Witcher world, and this game was well put together (not the main story, it had some plot contrivance and overall, a boring quest to find a mcguffin). The side quests were all great, the characters were so well-written, and the world-building was exquisite. The world is beautiful with a memorable and sensational score. If one can look past the surface and level gameplay then one can appreciate this game. Took me a while to find that appreciation but I did, and I was taken by this game.

Carta de amor aberta para a obra. É o jogo da minha vida, bendito seja o dia que comprei esse jogo, já faz uns 4 anos. Gostaria muito de esquecer tudo para poder experienciar como na primeira vez. É um aglomerado de qualidades (diferente de Tw1), o que a CD fez na narrativa desse jogo é surreal, imensa criatividade e fidelidade aos eventos do universo, tal quanto as referências citadas de momentos na saga. O aproveitamento de conceitos não completamente estabelecidos pelo Sapkowski é um acerto em cheio, é lindo de se ver. Tem problemas em questão de um jogo como RPG, não é perfeito, mas a gameplay não atrapalha o jogo como dizem, da pra se divertir bastante, porém é subjetivo pra cada um. Eu tive uma excelente experiência com a gameplay, mesmo não sendo uma das melhores. E a trilha sonora... que trilha sonora! puta merda, o bagulho é virtuoso e belíssimo de se ouvir, trilhas como: After The Storm, Spikeroog, Priscilla Ballad, Aen Seidhe, Steel for Humans... Só tem coisa linda, poderia citar bem mais, mas sem enrolação. Simplesmente inesquecível, minha vida não teria o mesmo rumo sem esse jogo. As quests secundárias o enriquecem absurdamente, e a exploração funciona muito bem, mesmo sendo chato ir atrás de pontos de interesse - os gráficos são lindos, é cada paisagem foda! e com mods a experiência enriquece mais ainda a jogatina.

The individual components of gameplay are not particularly fun, and cannot support the game on their own. It does, however, present a fantastic experience; those who appreciate it, playing the game as a movie or book, would enjoy their time. Gameplay-oriented minds, however, are likely to be disappointed.

I use mods to make the gameplay fun, and I find that it empowers the core fantasy dramatically when you not just get to be a half-participating spectator of it, but its core driving force. I wish the base game was like this, personally.

The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt is hands down one of the best RPGs I've ever played., Seriously, this game is a masterpiece in every sense of the word. From the moment you start playing, you're sucked into this incredibly detailed world filled with monsters, magic, and political intrigue.
The storyline is just...wow. It's so rich and immersive, with twists and turns that keep you on the edge of your seat. And the characters? They feel so real, with their own personalities, motivations, and flaws. You really get invested in their journeys, which makes every decision you make feel weighty and important.
And let's talk about the world itself. It's massive, but it never feels empty or boring. There's always something to do, whether it's hunting down monsters, exploring hidden caves, or just chilling in a tavern playing Gwent. And speaking of Gwent, don't even get me started on how addictive that card game is!

The Game of the Year Edition of The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt makes this one of the most complete videogame experiences ever, with 2 amazing expansions and an insane amount of additional content.

An absolute monster of a videogame.
The main story is very well made with an exceptional cast of characters, and the writing is fantastic, everything in the game has depth to it.

The amount of content is absolutely ridiculous, at first you might get overwhelmed by all the activities the game throws at you, but exploring the map and doing side quests is definitely worth it, this game has perhaps the best side quests I've ever experienced, and the quest design is phenomenal.

The dialogue options are groundbreaking, almost every quest has different outcomes and interactions, it's insane. Your actions have consequences and if you're not careful, you can miss entire questlines that can alter your entire experience with the game.

Also I think it's worth mentioning how beautiful the soundtrack is, it's pretty much one of the highlights of the game and really sets the tone perfectly.

It's an all-around solid game, it does almost everything very well, except from the gameplay which is a little bit clunky so you'll have to get used to it.
The biggest problem I have with the game personally is the amount of filler and padding in the first half of the story, it's a slow burn and takes too long for the pacing to get good, however, even when it's slow, it's still great and has so many things to offer.

The Open World is one of the best I've ever explored, it's very enjoyable from start to finish, there are so many things to do in this game.

The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt achieved the impossible, it's unbelievable how a small Polish studio managed to create a remarkable videogame like this one.

Final Rating: "Masterpiece" ~ 10/10.
